## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing signal integrity issues and false memory operations
- Solution : Implement 0.1μF ceramic capacitors placed within 0.5" of each VCC pin, with bulk 10μF tantalum capacitors distributed across the board
Signal Integrity
- Pitfall : Long, unterminated address/data lines causing reflections and timing violations
- Solution : Use series termination resistors (22-33Ω) on critical signals and maintain controlled impedance traces
Timing Analysis
- Pitfall : Ignoring setup/hold time requirements leading to data corruption
- Solution : Perform comprehensive timing analysis considering temperature and voltage variations
### Compatibility Issues
Voltage Level Matching
- The 5V TTL-compatible I/O may require level shifting when interfacing with 3.3V or lower voltage components
Bus Contention
- When multiple devices share the data bus, ensure proper bus arbitration and tri-state control to prevent contention
Clock Domain Crossing
- In systems with multiple clock domains, implement proper synchronization for control signals
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use dedicated power and ground planes
- Implement star-point grounding for analog and digital sections
- Ensure low-impedance power delivery paths
Signal Routing
- Route address and data buses as matched-length groups
- Maintain minimum 3W spacing between critical signal traces
- Keep high-speed signals away from board edges and noisy components
Thermal Management
- Provide adequate copper pour for heat dissipation
- Consider thermal vias under the package for improved heat transfer
- Ensure proper
